Automation
Introducing ARTomation
Precision Coating Systems
Advanced easy to use
windows based software
Now you can get the
highest possible transfer
efficiency, precise and
consistent film
thicknesses, fewer rejects,
and greatly enhanced
quality from your spray
coating system

providing savings in both labor and material

Other painting systems waste money in paint,


labor, and rejects. Artomations precision
software allows you to develop an acceptable
paint process that is repeatable. Your parts will
always be painted identically, regardless of the
time of day, or the person running the paint
line.

ARTomation technology
puts you in control of the
painting process

ARTomation lets you dynamically adjust all of the parameters that influence
the coating process, allowing the successful development of good recipes.
For instance, with the click of a mouse you can change settings for gun
motion, gun triggering, paint
flow rate, atomizing air pressure,
fan pattern width, and KV set
point (electrostatic charging).
Any or all of these settings can
be controlled concurrently
anywhere on the gun or
atomizers travel path. This
allows you to develop and record
a preset recipe of all the gun
parameters needed relative to the
parts geometry.

With Wetcoat application software,


programming your ARTomation coating
system is simple with intuitive and easy to
follow Windows based toolbars and pull down
menus

No Other System Can Do It Like ARTomation


Can Its So Unique, Its Patented
You can import a digital picture of the part to be
coated, into the personal computer housed in the
controller, then draw the areas you desire to coat in the Artomation software
program.
Pre-set Drawing Programs are Available Artomation software allows an
operator easy access to get started in developing the atomizers motion. Predeveloped paths for Vertical and Horizontal reciprocating motions are
available, plus many other specialized motion profiles.

The operator has the complete freedom of


adjusting any setting to the spray guns, including
the distance from the part and the speed and
direction of the spray gun or atomizer as it passes
over the part. This simplicity gives you an
enhanced ability to achieve a consistent film
build, while minimizing the manual touch up
required.
Most importantly, the ARTomation technology will save you thousands of dollars in
material consumption, energy, labor, and rejects.
Data Base Retrieval for ISO9000 With
every program created, the software keeps a
record of the gun settings and material
consumption. Your entire production run can
now be traced down to the date and time a part
was coated, the material used, and the settings
to the spray guns. You can also track other
information such as temperature and humidity.
Any sensing devices information can be
cataloged into the database for later retrieval.

Fast Color Change & Flush Routine


Automatic color change sequences are developed
with pre-set times for purge, solvent flush, and
re-fill with the next color, which allows for
accurate non-contaminating color changes.
This color change sequence resides in the pre-set
recipe for that color, and is accessed when that
recipe is selected. Times are variable depending
on color, viscosity, etc.

Multi-Axis Gun Movers Gantry Style for Maximum


Flexibility.
ARTomation gun movers are the premiere gantry-styled
machines built specifically for paint finishing and
coating applications. The ARTomation gantry-styled
machines have virtually no limit to the size of the work
envelope. These rugged, heavy duty machines are servocontrolled and mounted on heavy wall tubular welded
steel frames.
The Artomation gantry style servo-drive machine can
often replace 2 floor mounted robots because of its
unlimited linear size, line tracking ability, and the
capability to carry multiple spray guns.

The ARTomation controller is the central brain of a


complete precision coating system. It is designed with
components having the highest level of operational
reliability. The electronics and drives are mounted in a
shielded steel cabinet, protecting the components from
dirt and dust in the plant atmosphere.
These state of the art machines use open accessibility and
solid, robust construction of off-the-shelf components
coupled with simple straight forward mechanics. This
keeps maintenance at a minimum.
